- Your contacts that you have chatted with before may see an alert in your chat that the phone number has changed.
What if I do not have access to Signal with my old number?
- Delete your account to wipe your message history.
- 使用新号码注册。
- 就像与只发短信的非 Signal 联系人进行沟通一样,告知 Signal 联系人新号码,并要求删除旧号码。
- 向旧号码发送的信息和通话将无法送达。
假如某人用我的旧号码注册,该怎么办?
当某人在其手机上用您的旧号码注册了 Signal,消息记录将为空。另外,与旧号码联系时,Signal 联系人将获悉安全码已更改。
